How the User Resources Plugin Works

The User Resources Plugin allows the creation of "virtual" users, which can be assigned to events or invited to the calendar. A good example of using this function is the creation of Company Car users or Meeting Room users.

As seen in the screenshot, a new button called "Create Dummy User" is available under Settings > Users. This button opens a user creation page, but with fewer fields compared to the standard user creation screen you're used to.

These new users are special because they are not counted in the total number of users available based on the license purchased with vtenext, and unlimited users can be created.

Additionally, they cannot log in to the system or be used in web services, but they remain available for the bookme function and for sharing within the calendar. They can be invited to events and can also be assigned to any CRM record.

Example: User Resource created for Company Car booking

In this case, a "virtual" user is created for the company car. This user can be invited to calendar events like meetings, ensuring that the car is reserved at a specific time.
